Captain Cook’s Journal During the First Voyage Round the World

CHAPTER 2
34/117

When the Ship was in this Torrent she frequently Pitched her Bowsprit in the Water.

By Noon we got under the Land between Cape St.
Diego and Cape St.Vincent, where I thought to have Anchored, but found the Bottom every where hard and Rocky; the Depth of Water from 30 to 12 fathoms.

Sent the Master to Examine a small Cove which appeared to our View a little to the Eastward of Cape St.Vincent.Wind South-South-West and South-West by South.
Sunday, 15th.

Moderate breezes at South and South-East, and cloudy weather, the greater part of this day.

At 2 p.m.the Master return'd with an account that there was Anchorage in 4 fathoms Water and a good bottom close to the Eastward of the first black bluff point which is on the East side of Cape St.Vincent, at the very Entrance of the Cove we saw from the Ship (which I named Vincent Bay).
